What you'll get:

Private Pilot Manual
The Private Pilot Manual is your primary source for initial study and review on your journey to becoming a private pilot. The intuitive organization and colorful presentation of the manual helps you learn quickly from the start. The text contains complete and concise explanations of the fundamental concepts every private pilot needs to know, with the subjects arranged in a logical manner that builds upon previously introduced topics. You can expand your knowledge of specific subjects and the world of aviation by exploring the Discovery Insets strategically placed throughout the chapters. To help you understand how your mind and body function during flight, human factors principles are presented in Human Element Insets. Throughout the manual, concepts that directly relate to FAA test questions are described in FAA Question Insets. To help you review material more effectively, key terms are highlighted throughout the text and listed at the end of each section along with a checklist that summarizes important concepts. Additionally, you can evaluate your understanding of material by completing the associated questions found at the end of each section.

Private Pilot Maneuvers Manual
This Private Pilot Maneuvers manual uses step-by-step procedure descriptions and over 100 full-color figures to help you visualize and understand each maneuver you perform in the airplane. Skill Enhancement Insets provide expanded instructional guidance, helpful hints, explanations of common errors, and rules of thumb that can help you perform each maneuver precisely the first time. To prepare for your private pilot checkride, you can refer to the associated FAA practical test standards presented with each maneuver description. In addition, exercises allow you to evaluate your understanding of the maneuvers. For easy reference, the maneuvers are numbered and grouped into categories based on similar operational characteristics. The spiral-bound design allows the manual to lay flat for ease of study and instruction, whether you are on the ground or in flight.

Private Pilot Syllabus
The Private Pilot Syllabus provides a basic framework for your training. Ground and flight lessons are coordinated in a logical sequence to ensure that your training progresses smoothly and that you are consistently introduced to topics on the ground prior to being required to apply that knowledge in the airplane. The compact spiral-bound design makes it convenient to use on the ground or in the cockpit. Ideal for FAR Part 141 pilot training and easily adapted for FAR Part 61 training, the syllabus features lesson objectives, flight and ground time allocations for all lessons, coordination of academic support materials with pilot training, an enrollment notice, and graduation certificates.

Private Pilot Stage Exam Booklet
This set of three exams provides a valuable tool for testing your comprehension of subjects covered in the Private Pilot Manual. The Stage I Exam covers airplane systems, aerodynamic principles, and the flight environment, as well as communication and flight information. The Stage II exam allows you to test your knowledge of meteorology, weather data interpretation, and the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). Questions regarding airplane performance, navigation, and the application of human factors principles are included in the Stage III Exam.

Private Pilot Record Folder
The Private Pilot Record Folder provides an effective way to record all ground lessons, written exams, flight maneuvers, and flight checks during your pilot training. Instructors can easily document all of the training required for private pilot certification governed by both FAR Part 141 and FAR Part 61.

Customer Reviews For Jeppesen GFD Private Pilot Kit - Part 141: Write a review

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 A must for any student in a Part 141 program by Fred from Warwick RI USA  Pros: Everything you need. Cons: Knowledge test manual needs better layout Review: Everything you need for your 141 PPL course. Textbook well written and easy to understand. Topics that will appear on the knowledge test are highlighted in each chapter. Price of the kit was cheaper than what my flight school was asking. The knowledge test manual that is aligned to the textbook needs to have the graphical references (sectionals, weather charts, airport information, etc) on the same or opposite page as the question(s) they relate to. Unfortunately, you must keep flipping back to the reference page to answer questions on subsequent pages Sunday, August 09, 2009 Clear prop and get in the air! by Douglas from RINGWOOD NJ USA  Review: I love the format of the textbook and the highlights of key words. It really makes the learning on the ground easy! Saturday, July 25, 2009 Great by Dwayne from North Logan UT USA  Review: Great product. Has all you need to prepare for the FAA private pilot test both written and flight portions. It has tons of materials to practice taking exams. If you use them all you will be more than ready for the test. Friday, February 20, 2009 Private Pilot Training by Suzy from Clarkston MI USA  Pros: easy to understand Cons: none that I found so far Review: This kit is easy reading. I am refreshing myself to update my pilot's license and my husband is learning so he can be my copilot. Thursday, February 19, 2009 Very good buy for any pilot by Patrick from Spokane WA USA  Pros: Informative, complete, good quality materials Cons: lots of information, seems overwhelming at first. Review: A very informative collection. Everything you would need to pass the FAA exams. A must buy for every pilot Monday, April 28, 2008 Great starter kit by Luis from belleville IL USA  Pros: fast shipping, received item in like 3 day@!!!!! Cons: the bag is a cheap, china town, $5 dollar bag that's over priced. Review: The material is very useful and puts everything in laymen terms. Tuesday, April 15, 2008 FAR 141 Private Pilot course materials, Good buy! by Rick from Bethlehem PA USA  Pros: Complete, including FAR/AIM manual - up to date Review: Everything was as described, easier and cheaper than buying piece parts! Sunday, January 20, 2008 Awesome package with great value by Shawn from MIAMI FL USA  Pros: Awesome Kit everything included to start school and more Cons: Sometimes I wish I had a video to see things in a different percpective Review: The information is clear and concise, until you get to the airspace area and class airspace and then you want something more visual although you can find that on the internet. The weather section is next and it looks like a handful of information. I would recommend this to anyone interested in their private pilot but sometimes wonder if their cd selection was not a better choice. Well we will see. Tuesday, November 13, 2007 Confusing at first but complete at last by Cardinal from Cleveland TN USA  Pros: Very informative and structured Cons: Sensory Overload at first Review: This product was both overwhelming and enlightening. When the product was received I immediately opened the package and began to look at what I had bought. I quickly became overwhelmed until my instructor sat down with me and explained the program. My instructor is now using the structure of this program for me and other students that are starting to fly. The information is very informative but the book is a little thick and slow to start. P.S. I soloed Yesterday and what a rush (Lost the shirt tail) [Editor note: Congratulations!] Saturday, November 10, 2007 By far the best by Alex from Dallas, TX  Pros: Text format, Value, and just the Jeppesen reliability Cons: Bag is a little heavy Review: Every aspect of flying for the private pilot in a heavy black bag. You wont be disappointed. You cant go wrong with Jeppesen, and I assure you it is worth the extra dollars for the part 141. Thursday, July 05, 2007 by Evan Reich from   Review: I would have liked to have seen the test bank and questions in a computerized disc format. It would have made it a bit easier to study. Flight Computer was bent upon arrival

 

 

Previous Customer Questions For Jeppesen GFD Private Pilot Kit - Part 141: Ask Your Own Question

On Sunday, March 22, 2009 a customer asked: Q: This is all new to me. What is the difference between 61 and 141? A: Flight Schools are either certified under Part 61, Part 141, or both.  Part 61 and Part 141 certified flight schools offer the same basic training and require the same FAA exams. The major difference is the training environment. Flight schools certified under Part 61 offer a flexible (less structured) training program in which their training syllabus is not subject to FAA approval.  Flight schools certified under Part 141 provide a structured training program with a standardized training syllabus approved by the FAA. As far as the kit goes, the textbook and the foundation are the same for the 61 and 141.  With the 141 kit You just get some extras such as the Private Pilot Syllabus, Stage Exam Set, Record Folder that wouldn't really be needed in a Part 61 program.  You also get the metal flight computer (E6B) as opposed to the cardboard version. In general, flight schools offering a Part 61 program are much more popular.
